“I want to know if you will come to a party on Saturday at Kingthorpe, Madame Bakke,” said Johnny. Here she was again. “Thought I would,” answered Jerry shortly, but halting. Beauty, after the first transports of joy were over, remembered that she had no clothes with her; but the servant told her that she had just found a trunk in the next room, in which were dresses of gold fabric, trimmed with diamonds. Beauty thanked the kind Beast for his thoughtfulness. She took out the least costly of the dresses, and told the maid to lock the others away again, as she wished to give them to her sisters; but she had no sooner uttered these words, than the trunk disappeared.
